Toast and Nutella: music video

We aren't caught up in your love affair

Since I spend most of my day listening to music on Spotify in order to get through the work day, I have been discovering new music.
Actually that's a lie, I've been listening to the same five songs on repeat all day. One of the songs is Royals by Lorde.
Everything about this song, I love. The music, the lyrics, the video, the accent. Yeeeah.

I was made to believe there's something wrong with me

Cold War - Janelle Monae

I got a love that keeps me waiting

Wait, this video. I love it so much. Work it. I be dancin like him during my study breaks.

Ah, he got the velcros

It is annoying to do that thing called homework again. But what gets me through is listening to Macklemore. Check out this video of Macklemore performing Same Love, Thrift Shop, and Can't Hold Us for npr music. He is a genius.

And the way you move, I won't close my eyes

Life is good.

Yesterday One Direction released a new album. Be still my heart.

This morning I had breakfast with my dad. We had a real breakfast at an American diner, eggs bacon pancakes.

Tomorrow night I will see The Lumineers in Paris. And I will probably cry.

Thursday I will leave for Amsterdam. I have always wanted to visit Amsterdam, I've heard it is beautiful, among other things.

I don't think this is real life.

There's certain things in life you cannot change

What a refreshing summer snack. The Forest Feast is great for simple healthy recipes. I hope you have a relaxing weekend :) I plan on tanning and not going to Lolla.

Post title is from Yamaha by Delta Spirit. My friend is awesome and got on the guest list for their concert, so I got to see them for free last night at Lincoln Hall. They were great, although I think they were saving their energy for Lolla. I absolutely love everything about Yamaha. I get obsessive about certain songs... Check out their music video for California. So Skins. So hipster ;)

You're seeing right through me anyway

This song is too great. I'm pretty sure I'm getting my roommate annoyed because I play it so much. But it's just so relatable. I'm excited to see them at NU Dillo Day! Just have to survive classes til then :)

How could I feel bad anymore

Check out this Chicago band, Kids These Days. They performed at the Unity Fashion Show at Northwestern this weekend!

You go bon iver

The in between bits

1. Yesterday I watched Like Crazy for the second time and finished The Blind Assassin by Margaret Atwood... I would not recommend doing those two things on the same day. I was an emotional mess. You know that feeling you get when all you can do is lay in bed and listen to The Trapeze Swinger by Iron & Wine on repeat? Oh wait... ugh why do I have so many feelings?

The poem from Like Crazy:
I thought I understood it
That I could grasp it
But I didn’t, not really
I knew the smudgeness of it
The pink-slippered-all-containered-semi-precious eagerness of it
I didn’t realize it would sometimes be more than whole
The wholeness was a rather luxurious idea
Because its the halves that halve you in half
Didn’t know, don’t know about the in between bits
The gory bits of you
And gory bits of me

2. Alright enough with the feelings. I really like this music video of We Found Love by Rihanna. Please don't judge me. This music video is actually really good... its like a condensed episode of Skins (and reminds me slightly of this music video).

Lovely music

This afternoon I was able to see Hilary Hahn perform at the CSO. She played Mercy by Max Richter as part of her new project. I was blown away! Now I wish I could play the violin. Actually on second thought, the cello would have to win. Here is another piece by Max Richter called The Nature of Daylight. Enjoy :)
